Use the Printing Press companion for AgentPool to inspect official capacity signals, run privacy-safe diagnostics, and delegate to the official agentpool CLI.

What this skill does
AgentPool Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the agentpool-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer: 2. Verify: agentpool-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Use this when you want a Printing Press catalog entry for AgentPool but still want the official AgentPool CLI to remain the source of truth. This wrapper checks installation, prints onboarding guidance, reads usage/capacity summaries through the official CLI, and delegates to agentpool. Do not treat this as a separate AgentPool implementation. It does not choose providers, parse usage, inspect SQLite state, run MCP itself, rank models, merge branches, push code, store credentials, or add provider=auto. Command Reference agentpool-pp-cli install - Show the official install and upgrade flow for agentpool-cli. agentpool-pp-cli doctor - Delegate to agentpool doctor --privacy. agentpool-pp-cli usage - Delegate to agentpool usage-summary --json. agentpool-pp-cli skill - Print official AgentPool agent guidance. agentpool-pp-cli mcp-config - Delegate MCP host config generation to AgentPool. agentpool-pp-cli exec - Pass arguments through to the official agentpool binary. Recipes Check the local setup: Read cached usage through the official AgentPool CLI: Print the current AgentPool agent guidance: Generate MCP host configuration through the official AgentPool CLI: Pass a command through unchanged: Safety The wrapper should stay boring. …
